"Pretty women wonder where my secret lies. 

I'm not cute or built to suit a fashion model's size 

But when I start to tell them, 

They think I'm telling lies. 

I say, 

It's in the reach of my arms 

The span of my hips, 

The stride of my step, 

The curl of my lips. 

I'm a woman 

Phenomenally. 

Phenomenal woman, 

That's me." -Maya Angelou: "Phenomenal Woman"

Day 36

"Women are often advised to avoid sexual violence by never walking alone at night. But in fact, only around 10% of rapes are committed by 'strangers'. Around 90% of rapes are committed by known men; someone who the survivor has previously known, trusted, often even loved. People are raped in their homes, their workplaces and other settings where they have previously felt safe. Sometimes, the myth that rape is most commonly perpetrated by strangers can make the majority of survivors, who have been raped or sexually assaulted by someone they know, even less likely to report to the police or even confide in someone close about their experiences, for fear of not being believed, out of a sense of shame or self-blame, and/or because they have mixed feelings about getting the perpetrator 'into trouble'. This myth can also control women's movements and restrict their rights and freedom." (www.rapecrisis.org.uk)

Day 33

"I want to apologize to all the women i have called beautiful

before I’ve called them intelligent or brave

I am sorry I made it sound as though

something as simple as what you’re born with

is all you have to be proud of

when you have broken mountains with your wit 

from now on I will say things like

you are resilient, or you are extraordinary

not because I don’t think you’re beautiful

but because I need you to know

you’re more than that"

-Rupi Kaur

I will not stay SILENT so you can stay COMFORTABLE. 

Thank you for supporting us and following the first month of our year long journey. In this past month, statistically, 56,916 U.S. women were raped, 154 girls were victims of human trafficking in the U.S., and countless women were victims of street harassment and were made to feel ashamed of being female. When will we wake up and stop this abuse? What will it take for us to raise our voices? This could have been your grandmother, your mother, your sister, your daughter, your friend. This could have been you. Will you be silent?

Day 30

You don't have to be pretty. You don't owe prettiness to anyone: not your boyfriend/spouse/partner, not your coworkers, especially not random men on the street. You don't owe it to your mother; you don't owe it to your children. You don't owe it to civilization in general. Prettiness is not a rent you pay for occupying a space marked "female. - Diana Vreeland
